Annual Retirement Plan Audits

Benefit Plan Audits – Seattle (WA)

Many companies offer retirement plans as an employee benefit. Not only does it provide workers an essential retirement savings vehicle, but it can also open the door to business tax saving opportunities. However, there are strict requirements which must be followed when administering a plan. ERISA outlines the rules which must be followed, including when a plan needs to undergo an annual retirement plan audit. Those companies that achieved a large plan status are subject to this requirement. This means that business owners, CFOs, Controllers, and HR Managers need to find an eligible audit firm and manage the sometimes complex audit process. For this reason, companies in  Seattle need to find a qualified auditor with appropriate experience.
